The Middle East Roundtable Exchange

The Middle East region — encompassing the Arab states, Israel, Turkey, and Iran — is experiencing profound geopolitical transformations. From disarming non-state actors to efforts in state reconstruction, the region faces pressing questions regarding its future security, governance, development, and social cohesion.

To address these challenges, the Middle East Program will convene a series of expert roundtables examining critical and timely issues affecting the region. By bringing together leading thematic and regional specialists, the program seeks to draw on cross-regional insights and comparative experiences to develop actionable, evidence-based policy recommendations.
